By CCND | Tendie
Money tight? Residents not letting you in? Don't have 4 hours to crawl through vents? Tenants not leaving the building? Bypass all of that with this simple trick.

Step 1: Knock on the door
It's always good to make sure if the tenant is home or not.
This guide specifically for when they ARE home.

Step 2: Wait for them to arrive
This will be very important for our way of entry.

Step 3: Plan A
Greet the owner of the apartment you require.

Step 4: Always ask
You never know, they could be more than willing to let you in!

Step 5: Plan B
Don't bother bribing them! We can still get in for free.

Step 6: Step back for a moment
Close the door and take a step back.

Step 7: Just in case
Have a quick look around. Make sure no one's nearby and no cameras are watching too closely.

Step 8: The apartment is yours
Barge the door with them still on the other side they will be instantly knocked out.

(To barge, hold down your Run key and run at the door. The action to Knock will be replaced with Barge and you will bash the door open. Keep in mind that Barging is LOUD and illegal.)


This works best when there is only one person living in the apartment. They usually stay unconscious long enough for you to get all of their information before they wake.

If they do wake up while you're still inside, leave before they fully regain consciousness and repeat the process.

To make an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs.

And to catch a murderer, you gotta break a few noses.

Carry a pair of handcuffs with you (bought cheaply at the city hall vending machine). An unconscious person is trivial to handcuff, the handcuffing lasts for a couple minutes, and there's also a nifty bonus of the handcuffed person being way more willing to answer your questions (still not guaranteed, but oh well). ALSO, if the person ends up being the confirmed perp, you can easily declare them under arrest and get a nice cash bonus on handing out the case in the city hall.

Alternatively, carry a truncheon (sold in the city hall, or you can luck out and buy for even cheaper at a pawn store). If the home owner suddenly wakes up and gets all uppity (or if they live with someone else who caught you in the act), three hits with a truncheon will knock them out cold again, giving you more time to snoop around. Repeat as necessary.

This guide did a complete 180 and gave me whiplash so hard I'd swear someone kicked in MY door. Beautiful tip, thank you

LOL. Least deranged noir detective.

Usually i just turn into michael myers whenever they give me attitude.
Walk in first, stab them later. Ask questions never.
